Lane 1974 Page #5

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Lane is a 13-year-old girl coming of age on a Northern California commune in the 1970s. While Lane enjoys the freedom of living off-the-grid with her mother and younger siblings, she craves a stable "normal" life - a life she's only seen in pictures from a stolen Sears catalog. Lane must navigate her troubled mother, Hallelujah, while trying to care for her younger brother and sister. After a series of dangerous and isolating events, Lane decides to forge her own path in hopes of finding a better life after it becomes clear her family has fallen apart.

Stand over here.

I need you to pose, okay?

Why you looking scared?

You never posed before?

You don't know how to pose?

No.

Okay. This hand...

This hand, put it on your hip.

Now pop your hip.

Pop your hip.

Pop it.

More than that.

You go to...

pop it.

Yeah, okay.

And I want you

to look at the ground

very seriously.

Ready?

One, two...

That was pretty good.

Let's do one more, okay?

There's a boy you like.

Look at this boy you like.

Lure him in

with your eyes.

One, two...

That was good.

Hey, Lane, come on.

We have to go.

Now, Lane.

Move it

Come on, let's go.

Where's Shayla?

Mom!

She's gonna stay here

for a while. Come on.

No.

Mom, I don't wanna

leave her here.

Come on, right now.

I'm not leaving her here.

She's my sister!

Lane, I don't have time

for your histrionics.

Come on.

I'm not playing a game.

Shayla's staying here,

and Claude's gonna come

and get you and Jamie,

and that's the way

it's gonna be,

because I'm tired of this sh*t.

Come on.

Charlie, shut the door.

What are you making?

I'm building an airplane.

Okay.

Do you think Dad's really

coming to get us?

No.

You have a better chance of flying

out of here on your airplane.

Jamie, stop it for a second.

Stop it.

Daddy!

Hey there, little buddy.

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy!

Hey, you remember me?

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy!

How are you doing?

Hi, Daddy!

Hey, you. Little girl.

What are you doing

all the way over there?

Come here.

Hi.

Wow, you guys are big.

This is where I'm building

an airplane out of spare parts.

This is the gearbox.

This is the intake manifold.

They connect to...

Jamie, take Claude to

the campsite, okay?

Come on, let's go find your mom.

Show me this later.

Cool truck, huh?

This guy's paying me money to take

it all the way back to New Mexico.

Hmm.

So you finally found a reason

to come back to California.

So glad you could

finally make it.

Over here is where we sleep.

And that's the shitter there.

And over there is where

Mom meditates.

Yeah? Oh,

it's meditating now, huh?

Still throw the I Ching?

How about the runes?

Mommy still throw the runes?

What are you doing?

Okay.

I'm gonna try to knock you off.

How's that?

Whaa!

Whoa!

You know, you look

a lot like my mom.

Doesn't she, Karen?

She looks like Lorraine.

I told you I changed my name.

Dad, you know my airplane?

Well, it can also

turn into a spaceship.

Is Lorraine still alive?

The intake manifold is

2,000 years' power.

The suspension is

double rack and pinion.

And the navigation

is inertial and gyroscopic,

and is radar, too.

Yeah, she's alive and living

in Las Vegas.

You know, it's a shame she hasn't
